Domaine Christophe Savoye - Cuvée Prestige Vieilles Vignes 2014
The flagship wine of the estate, the Cuvée Prestige is made from very old vines facing due south, resulting in low yields. After aging for a year in oak barrels, this cuvée produces a refined and full-bodied wine. A truly first-class Chiroubles!

About the estate:
In the heart of the village of Chiroubles, on the “green balcony” of the Beaujolais region, Christophe—a sixth-generation winemaker—cultivates 16.5 hectares, 14 of which are located within his own cru. Using the (traditional) semi-carbonic maceration method, he destems the grapes in plots where they are not yet ripe. He sells all his wine by the bottle at a fair price—the price at which Chiroubles should be sold. We are, however, surprised by the stylistic differences within the range, noting inconsistencies in the most recent vintages.
